Consolidation & Foreign Currency - Eliminations: Prepare and review intercompany eliminations for the monthly consolidation, ensuring balances fully eliminate and are supported by underlying documentation. - Foreign Currency: Account for FX remeasurement and translation on intercompany balances, including long-term-investment-nature designations under ASC 830, and analyze intercompany FX gain/loss. - Legal Entity Reporting: Support standalone legal entity financials and coordinate with local accounting providers on statutory reporting and audit requirements for international subsidiaries. - New Entity Onboarding: Support the accounting integration of newly acquired and newly formed entities, including establishing intercompany flows, mapping intercompany agreements, and aligning the chart of accounts. Process, Systems & Automation - Process Design: Build and document scalable intercompany processes, calendars, and policies that reduce manual effort and shorten the close. - Systems & Automation: Drive intercompany automation within OneStream, including automated intercompany transactions, elimination logic, and multi-book and multi-currency configuration partnering with IT and external implementation resources. - Continuous Improvement: Identify root causes of recurring intercompany discrepancies and implement upstream fixes across AP, AR, Payroll, and Procurement rather than downstream corrections. - Stakeholder Enablement: Train and support entity controllers, shared services, and business partners on intercompany requirements and proper transaction routing. Controls, Audit & Compliance - Internal Controls: Design, document, and execute internal controls over the intercompany and consolidation processes, and remediate control gaps as the control environment scales. - Audit Support: Serve as the primary intercompany contact for external auditors, preparing schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation (PBC list items) for quarterly reviews and the year-end audit. - Technical Accounting: Research and document accounting positions on intercompany, consolidation, and foreign currency matters under US GAAP (ASC 810, ASC 830), and monitor policy compliance across entities.
